Dear friend,

I am Engr. Lawrence Sam, Principal Audit Officer in the project and planning department of the Ghana National Petroleum Corporation (GNPC), I head a seven man Tenders
Board Committee in charge of contract award and Payment approvals. I came to know of you in my search for a reliable and reputable person to handle a very confidential
transaction, which involves the transfer of sum of US$35,750,000.00 to a foreign account. There were series of contracts executed by a consortium of Multinationals in
the oil industry in favor of the (GNPC) among which were;

1) The expansion of Pipeline network within Ghana for crude oil and downstream products distribution and subsequent evacuation - US$2 Billion.
2) Contract for Turnaround Maintenance (TAM) of various Refineries in the country.
3) The construction of Storage Tanks for Petroleum Product (Depots)-US$94 Million.
The original value of these contracts were deliberately over-invoiced in the sum of Thirty Five million, Seven Hundred and Fifty Thousand United States Dollars US

$35,750,000.00) which has recently been approved and now ready to be transferred. However the companies that actually executed the aforementioned contract have been
fully paid and the projects officially commissioned.
Consequently, my colleagues and I are willing to transfer the total amount into your account for subsequent disbursement, since us as civil servants are prohibited by

the Code of Conduct Bureau (Civil Service Laws of Republic of Ghana) from opening and/or operating foreign accounts in our names.
Needless to say, the trust reposed in you at this juncture is enormous. In return, we have agreed amongst ourselves to offer you 20% of the transferred sum for

accepting the challenges and responsibilities of this transaction, 5% shall be set aside to cover all administrative expenses both parties incurred during the course
of this transaction thereafter you will then be mandated to use the balance to engage in lucrative investments on our behalf.
You must however NOTE that this transaction is subject to the following terms and conditions; our conviction of your transparent honesty and diligence, that you must
accord this transaction with utmost confidentiality and secrecy. And must carry out the terms and conditions that will be outlined in the partnership agreement
including but not limited to our choice of investments.

Furthermore, modalities have been worked out at the highest levels of the Ministry of Finance, Bank of Ghana, and it is affiliate bank Sahel Sahara Bank (Gh) Ltd and
the Parliament sub-committee on Finance and Contract Payment for the immediate approval of the funds within 10 - 14 working days subject to your satisfaction of the
above terms .Our assurance is that your role shall be totally risk free. To accord this transaction the legality it deserves, and for mutual security of funds, the

whole procedures shall be legally processed with your name or any company you may nominate as the bona fide beneficiary. After we must have signed a partnership
agreement, which would govern the scope of this transaction and protect the overall interest of all parties. Once more, I want you to understand that having put in
over 17 years in the Civil Service of my country; I am very much averse to having my image and career dented. This matter should therefore be treated with utmost
secrecy and urgency. Kindly expedite immediate action as we are well behind schedule to enable us include this transfer in the current batch of the 2014 fiscal year
contract payments.

I look forward to hearing from you soon as possible.
Sincerely,

Engr. Lawrence Sam
Principal Audit Officer (GNPC)
